Just commented on it. What we really need is the functionality to run
against pre-configured controllers (ie specify the controller NQN and
NSID and do not call into nvmetcli); when running on real HW we
typically cannot control the target, so we need to be able to specify
a preconfigured namespace.

Cheers,

Hannes
